Business self-promotion. Unreferenced, no evidence of notability outside its own promotional material. Andy Dingley (talk) 14:34, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment : This is a government body, not a business. -- Ritchie333 (talk)  (cont)   16:04, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Nope, it's a UK company Andy Dingley (talk) 16:29, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Why does it have a .org.uk address instead of .co.uk? -- Ritchie333 (talk)  (cont)   16:58, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
 * If it's a "government body", why does it have a .org rather than a .gov? I've a bunch of .orgs myself, but I'm not part of the government. I'm part of the Illuminati Andy Dingley (talk) 23:57, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Redirect (with or without selective merge) to Blue Badge tourist guide. The organisation definitely has some notability as the English professional body for tourist guides. However, the notability seems to be largely if not entirely to do with the professional qualifications it awards, of which the Blue Badge is the main one. So it would probably be best treated for the moment with a short section (a paragraph or so) there, whether taken from the current article or freshly written, with a redirect from the current article title.

 * Redirecting seems to be the best solution indeed.--Ymblanter (talk) 17:19, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
